Mr. Kunal Rathod is widely recognized for combining personalized patient care with the latest evidence-based treatments. At private hospitals where he us attached, he brings over two decades of experience to his practice, emphasizing minimally invasive procedures such as advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgeries. These techniques allow him to address a range of conditions—from early pregnancy complications to complex cases of endometriosis—with precision, reduced discomfort, and quicker recovery times.
Mr. Rathod’s approach to managing fibroids and advanced endometriosis highlights his expertise in state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgery. When it comes to fibroids, he employs advanced laparoscopic myomectomy techniques that remove fibroid tissue with precision and minimal disruption to the surrounding uterine tissue. This approach preserves fertility and leads to quicker recovery and less post-operative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.
For patients with advanced endometriosis—particularly cases where endometrial implants extend to involve the bowel and bladder—Mr. Rathod’s surgical skillset is especially valuable. His keyhole surgical techniques enable him to excise or ablate endometriotic lesions from delicate areas, ensuring that vital structures are preserved. In such complex scenarios, his procedure often involves meticulous dissection of adhesions and careful removal of deep infiltrating endometriosis. In some cases, he may even work alongside colorectal or urological specialists to manage extensive involvement, ensuring that all affected tissues are addressed while reducing the risk of complications.
Both his fibroid and endometriosis procedures are designed to provide maximum benefits with the least discomfort, leveraging the latest evidence-based methods and his extensive experience across some of the UK’s most prestigious hospitals. This commitment not only highlights his surgical expertise but also underscores his dedication to ensuring that patients experience a safe, effective, and swift return to everyday life.
Mr. Rathod’s career spanning over two decades is marked by his work at some of the UK's most prestigious hospitals, including Guy's and St Thomas' and King's College Hospital. His roles at these flagship institutions have afforded him extensive exposure to a wide range of clinical cases and surgical challenges, honing his expertise in managing both early pregnancy and complex gynaecological conditions.
Coupled with this impressive clinical background, Mr. Rathod has pursued advanced endoscopy training at internationally recognized centres in both the UK and India. This international training has equipped him with cutting-edge skills in minimally invasive techniques—allowing him to perform complex laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures with precision and reduced patient discomfort. Such extensive training ensures that he remains at the forefront of evidence-based practices, continually incorporating the latest advancements into his clinical approach.
Mr. Rathod’s commitment to medical education truly extends beyond traditional teaching environments. He leverages modern digital platforms—most notably his well-known YouTube channel—to share his expertise and demystify complex surgical procedures for both patients and healthcare professionals. His channel features a variety of educational videos that cover key techniques and demonstrations of laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures. This curated content provides clear, step-by-step guidance on advanced surgical techniques, empowering patients with a better understanding of their treatments while serving as an invaluable resource for medical students, GPs, and specialists around the world .
Additionally, his active social media presence reinforces his role as a modern educator. By connecting with the community and sharing detailed insights through his channel and other professional profiles, he bridges the gap between clinical practice and public education. His videos not only highlight the precision required in minimally invasive surgeries but also emphasize evidence-based methods that have evolved over decades of experience. This dynamic approach helps demystify what might otherwise seem like impenetrable medical procedures and fosters greater trust and understanding among patients and colleagues alike

Mr Kunal Rathod exhibits a professional, caring, and clear approach in his patient interactions. Patients commend his exceptional surgical skill and knowledge; his detailed explanations are reassuring. His outstanding guidance for complex gynaecological procedures ensures positive outcomes and improved quality of life. His practice focuses on laparoscopic (key-hole) surgery, treating endometriosis, fibroids, and performing laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Saw Mr Rathod recently having been recommended by my previous gynaecology consultant. He was extremely kind, professional, understanding and thorough. He explained the diagnosis to me along with various treatment options, and addressed all my concerns and questions. I feel very reassured to be under his expert care.
Mr Rathod and his team operated on me to excise my severe deep infiltrating endometriosis in April and I’m so glad that I’m under his care. His reassurance to me prior to what was going to be a complex surgery was amazing and his aftercare support and guidance has been second to none, he explains everything really clearly. What has struck me more than anything though is Mr Rathod’s passion for his work, as it was evident even from our first meeting that he really truly does care about what he does and I would highly recommend him to anyone who requires endometriosis excision surgery. He really is the best at what he does - and I’m really excited for what my new normality is going to look like going forwards as I’m feeling improvement already. I couldn’t have asked for more, so thank you!
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kunal. He performed my fibroid surgery and was incredibly patient throughout the process. He listened carefully to all my questions and addressed every concern I had. The surgery itself was smooth and successful.
Mr Rathod is an exceptional surgeon. I underwent stage 4 endometriosis excision surgery, and I was incredibly well taken care of. I feel so incredibly lucky to have been referred to him and his team.
Mr. Rathod is an exceptional professional. He explains things with total clarity and is highly responsive to questions. His experience is evident in his direct, to-the-point, and efficient approach. I was particularly impressed by his decisiveness; from my initial consultation and investigations to the surgery and final recovery follow-up, the entire process took just 44 days. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert, fast-acting and professional care.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Dr Rathod and his team as I’m forever grateful I had him as my surgeon. I recently had keyhole surgery with him at the Spire London East, in which of course I was very nervous about, but he put me at ease and was very understanding throughout. Surgery went really well and went in for my check up with nurse today and all is healing very well. Amazing job and thanks again!
Very friendly and professional had 2 surgeries with mr rathod and both went very well
I had a nice experience, he is friendly and attentive to patient needs offering high quality services with professionalism!
During my recent consultation with Dr. Kunal he gave me the time to tell him how I am recovering and getting along after my surgery. He then clearly explained to me what my next steps/options should be depending on my choice. Dr. Kunal has always made me feel very comfortable and he is very respectful in everything he says and does. He is always ready to listen and give you the best advice according to your circumstances/needs.
I recently had a Laparoscopic hysterectomy at Spire- London East. I was so worried I would have to have open surgery due to the size of my fibroids but Mr Rathod amazingly managed to do this via keyhole. I have severe anxiety and Mr Rathod was nothing but kind, caring and reassuring. He is a very professional surgeon who i would highly recommend to anyone needing to undergo surgery. The care I received has been exceptional. I would like to say a VERY big Thank you to Mr Rathod for giving me my life back
Mr Kunal Rathod is an excellent colleague with a wide variety of skills. He has a wealth of experience and I fully endorse him. He has an excellent manner, extensive knowledge, brilliant communication and surgical skills, making him a highly respected practitioner and I recommend him highly.

Endometriosis is a chronic progressive disease spectrum characterized by the presence of tissue resembling functioning endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. These ectopic implants have a propensity to bleed, initiating an inflammatory response. One of the most severe forms is deep rectovaginal endometriosis, which is the most challenging entity to treat. The diagnostic evaluation of these patients requires a transvaginal ultrasound and an MRI pelvis. Medical management may reduce the symptom severity but does not cure the disease. These patients often need surgical excision of the endometriosis to manage symptoms. We aim to describe the approach, principles, and detailed techniques of surgical removal of deep endometriosis. Complete excision of the deep rectovaginal endometriosis was achieved with symptomatic relief. This case illustrates our presurgical evaluation and operative techniques in detail, which are crucial in the optimal removal of endometriosis.

The ovarian ectopic pregnancy OPE is one of the most serious and rarest types of extra-uterine pregnancy, where the implantation of the gestational sac occurs in the ovum. Given the rarity of this condition, in addition to the accompanied morbidity, the risk of their complications, and even death, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Its diagnosis is not easy and relies on criteria based on preoperative findings, with poor clinical symptomatology and a difficult ultrasound diagnosis. Its management of choice remains surgical therapy despite the progress in medical treatments with fertility preservation. Patients’ symptomatology, radiological and lab findings, addition to her obstetric history and desire for future procreation must also be taken into consideration
